LEWISBURG (WVVA) - Police officers who were placed on a leave of absence following last week's fatal shooting of a man following a traffic stop have returned to duty.

Sgt. Pendleton at the Lewisburg detachment of the State Police says, as of this week, each officer has returned to duty.

A chaplain and other services were available to the officers while on leave.

Police say Jimmy L. Hamlin Jr., 44, of Kathleen, Ga., was shot dead after threatening officers with a rifle after a traffic stop on Route 219 in Lewisburg.
